Thank you for showing us young ones what the world used to look like. It is one thing to read about things on paper and seeing pictures, watching it on video is important!

[@gracetse6796]

@@rickychiu8032 Love it too. The 30's is the oldest I have watched, clip is quite clear considering almost 90 years ago. Thank you for such precious HK video.

[@mandikwok]

I would like to tell you I very love your channel. Thank you Mr. Michael Rogge❤️🍎🌹

[@michaelijsbrand]

Thank you very much and all the best to you and all viewers !

[@73aeroman]

I loved every single clip I watched. I'm now living in HK and cant get enough from this place, but I loved HK in the 70's to mid 90's era. I always thought my past life I was living in HK.

[@katyu16]

I love ALL of your clips!! Thank you Michael Rogge!!!!!!!!

[@leonleon263]

Thanks you Brother))

[@michaelijsbrand]

I suppose that its purpose was to prevent dust on the road blowing up and being inhaled. Tuberculosis was spread this way. Spitting in the street was prohibited in Hong Kong (as was jaywalking !) and elsewhere.

[@jasonr4877]

Can’t believe my grandma is living in this environment, big difference compared to now

[@solopolo]

Michael, I shared your latest clip on my fb with my HK friends.
I 100% appreciate your contribution.

[@tripprawlings9284]

I like the lady at 0:52 impatiently tossing her hand at the sedan chair attendant...can almost hear her saying "go boy, go"!

[@fastfood8472]

You have the best channel on youtube, keep up the good work.

[@alexcflau]

WOW. You have been posting the HK that my parents grew up in. And now you are posting the HK before my grandparent come to HK.

[@am1966ath]

Wonderful video Mr.Rogge..thank you for showing a hongkong before the skyskrapers and the land-reclamation of central. An historic document for todays hurried hongkongers.

[@fionaleung5713]

舊淺水灣酒店建築真的很美⋯✨

[@am1966ath]

Fascinating..Hongkong has been soo transformed in 80years..also a sign of how world trade and the importance of Hongkong has grown in a lifetime....

[@nastigir7]

Thank you for this. Do you have the original sound reels for these clips?

[@RonRay]

Michael, can you please tell me the name (title) of the music at the very beginning? It's almost mesmerizing.

[@AnnaLuizaMenezes]

What's the name of the song that plays in the beginning of this video? It's beautiful! :-)

[@agnesk1871]

👍🏻👍🏻📽📸✌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@fainhk]

great film, anymore? i want to see. thank you.

[@Speedbird996]

the piece from 2:21 to 2:50 has been printed the wrong way round,
the pan from right to left ends up at Wanchai and Notth Point, which should be on the right.

[@user-ok5re1ej3n]

打錯英文字 North Point

[@michaelijsbrand]

Sorry, but in those days films were released silently. The sound track is mine as in most other clips.

[@dutchray]

My mum was born in 1932 in Hong Kong, in the N.T.

[@octchung]

Dear Mr. Rogg, the period 0:57 - 1:16, the location of spreading water on street seems PEKING in 1915?

[@octchung]

Kindly advise me the building at 3:00-4:00, is it the repulse Bay hotel?
Moreover, do you have any film of the YU's repulse Bay House? thx

[@user-fy6yr1er6h]

น้าดูชมคะ

[@gabrielsoto7495]

how was Shenzhen in this time o how do you think ??

[@michaelijsbrand]

Srry, I forgot.

[@RonRay]

What the heck was the guy with the cart doing? Looked like he was throwing water on people!?

[@RonRay]

Ah... That's it!

[@gragrn]

Probably to keep the dust down on the dirt roads.

[@blower05]

Hi Michael, this was filmed by you?

[@michaelijsbrand]

No, I'm not that old !

[@blower05]

Oh Sorry! We very much appreciate that you can upload these memorable films. Not sure if you have films about Tai Kok Tsui in HK. it was my home in the old days. I would like to get some nostalgic memory if I could see the school, my living place and the playgrounds in the films.

[@gonojaja]

What is that man doing at 1:13 ? It looks like he is splashing water ?

[@bobojr456]

Old custom to keep the dust down on roads by spraying water.

[@gzh2729]

香港浅水湾1932年

[@91911991albert]

I guess he is throwing the grain on the road for drying them.
